Adam flinched, his hands leaving his father's warm hands, as he stared into space. Although his father's voice had been low, he heard clearly "Willliaamms? William Bates did this?" he quietly asked no one in particular. Williams wasn't entirely surprised, he knew the kind of dirty and tricky person Williams was, but whatever hostility there was, was between them both, he didn't think it extended to his family. "He will pay!" fist once again clenched, teeth grating, and veins bulging Adam declared. Hector cleared his throat, turning himself in his seat to face a standing Adam who currently had his back turned on him, Adam didn't want his father seeing his anger and hurt. "Not only Williams my son, Madame Cecil as well I overheard her voice on the phone. The guy had put the phone on speaker causing me to hear the conversation, it was as if they wanted me to hear it all" As his father spoke, his words sent chills down Adam's spine To hurt him was one thing, to hurt and humiliat
At the question, Adam smiled to himself, he liked Raul; he was efficient"I'm glad you called, and I'm also glad you asked that. There is something I'd like you to do. I would like a good and furnished house for my parents, bought in their name. How soon can I get that?""Just say the word, give the go-ahead Sir, and it is done."Adam visibly inhaled and exhaled at that proclamation, the power money wielded was indeed something. "Take this as my go-ahead then Raul"Over the phone, Adam could hear Raul chuckle lightly "Got it, Young Master, do you have any preference or area in mind, what sort of house would you like it to be?"Adam hadn't thought of that, but one thing was certain he wanted an area that was way above Hillsbury"They are a little old, and my father currently can't walk well, and so…" "I'm sorry to hear that Sir" Raul cut in, and Adam nodded his head in gratitude, remembering Raul couldn't see him over the phone, he mumbled"Thank you Raul" and continued "So I don't t
Just as Adam made to reply, a loud shriek sounded outside, and both brothers dashed to check what the problem was, with Adam in the lead. Pushing the door open, he was met with a tornado in the form of his sister, who promptly jumped on him, grinning from ear to ear. Adam chuckled lightly at her display, he had missed her and her dramatics, he smiled widely in return as they both looked at each other. "Alright let's take this party inside, Noah come help me carry these things inside, Leah gets off your brother and give a helping hand" their mother instructed both grumbling siblings, shaking his head in amusement, Adam joined in to clear their balcony as they all proceeded inside. **** "I dare say that was the best meal I've had my entire life. No offence mum" Winking at his mother, Noah rubbed his stomach, with a huge contagious grin on his face "None taken Noah, and it's all thanks to your brother" Julia responded. The family were currently
Not waiting to gauge their reactions, his eyes filled with fury, he headed out to inspect the noise, and was taken aback to see hefty men ranging about ten, banging the railings on their rickety gate, as they shouted and glared into their house. They held different weapons in their hands, ranging from cutlasses to machetes as well as knives and daggers, like they were going for a war. Adam looked behind him to see his mother and sister cowering in fear, while Noah seemed to be fidgety, shifting from one foot to the other, looking extremely uncomfortable. Adam held his eyes, and raised his brows in question, sparing the men a glance, while Noah was unable to hold his gaze. "where the hell are the occupants of this house? Come the fuck out right now! You already know what we're here for. We hear the jailbird is out, the more, the merry. Right, guys?" one of them who looked to be the leader bellowed and asked his hefty minions, all of them nodded as they laughed. Having enough of th
Once again, his family avoided looking anywhere but him, Adam backed them while fishing out his phone and sent a quick text to Raul; Adam: Raul, prepare the house that was just bought for my family, I want it in good living condition right now, with domestic staff as well. My family will be moving in tonight, no questions asked. Raul immediately replied to his textRaul: Got it, Sir. I've made all the necessary arrangements. Thankful for the information, Adam once again turned to head into the house and realised his siblings and mother had entered into it. Without mincing a word, he turned to his seated father asking for an explanation "Father, since no one would answer me, I believe you would. Can I know what the heck just happened outside and who could those men possibly be?"As he spoke, his siblings exchanged a nervous glance between themselves, causing Adam to be curious before he could cut in and demand what their look meant, Hector began to speak up his voice filled with pa
Silence rang in the air as everyone gaped at him, whether in shock or disbelief or a little of both, he couldn't decipherLeah stared at him with her mouth wide open, her mouth kept opening and closing, in an attempt to speak, her look reminded Adam of a fish outside water, and he found himself chuckling lightly at the image in his head. Noah, was the first to break the silence, as he continued looking at Adam, without blinking“Is this some sort of a joke? Today isn't April fool’s you know? The only reason I'm sure we all aren't laughing is out of respect.” he paused as he continued looking at Adam sceptically “Don't be delusional bro” He watched as his parents and Leah nodded their heads in agreement, and couldn't help but hide his smirk“Believe it or not, you all are looking at the legal heir of Raine’s conglomerate.” he declared again, heading to where he had previously kept the stuff Raul had previously given him to show them as proof, picking the metal envelope and his phone,
The room smelt and looked like thorough opulence, Adam couldn’t help but stare as he admired the sitting room, it was simple, yet luxury spoke volumes. The chairs were of white leather with gold trimming, beautiful polished oak wood lined the floor, with expensive artworks and artefacts hanging on the wall. The room was beautiful but still looked powerful. A maid, dressed in a uniform of black and white, walked in with a tray filled with dainty ceramic cups and a jug, which Adam presumed to be tea balanced on her hand, placing it on the stool beside Adam, she took a bow and left the sitting room.Adam subconsciously watched her as she left, Raul walked in, and the maid bowed to him as she hurried to her duty. Raul walked towards Adam as he bowed forward, standing before Adam, he proceeded to tell him, “Young Master, your family has been settled into their new home”Adam smiled at Raul, making his hand into a fist, he stretched it towards Raul, who looked at the hand confusingly, mak
Adam stood a few feet away from Reels Limited, as he silently watched his employees going about their morning activities, he had been to see his grandfather last night after settling his family into their new home. There, his grandfather had informed him of the issue the financial company was facing, Thompson Raine, his grandfather had given him some files with the current history of the company and had tasked Adam to handle it, in the words of Thompson Raine, it was his first official task as the presiding CEO of their conglomerate. He had purposely not worn any of his new outfits today, choosing to rather go in his old clothes. His grandfather had sent a message to the manager, informing him of Adam showing up. Raul had insisted on coming along, but he had declined, walking gracefully and with purpose, he walked towards the entrance, and two security guards stood in charge. As he approached, he saw one of the guards glance at him, and signal to his partner in signs, at the exchan
